Duplicate Keys

Fiction by Jane Smiley

https://www.barnesandnoble.com

I couldn't get interested in this story. It  was only because I'm stuck at home with a quarantine and I don't know when I'm going to be able to go to the library again that I forced myself to finish the book.

There is a murder in chapter one, so one expects this to be a mystery story, but it's really not. Or, it's not a good mystery story. It's not suspenseful. We do find out who the murderer is at the end, and it's the person I thought it was in chapter one.

Anyways, I don't know why the review quoted above calls it a cliff-hanger. It's more of a cliff-sitter-and-don't-go-anywhere-at-all-er.


I also read recently by this author: Private Lives
